Resolution 7

The Christian Doctrine of God

We welcome an increased readiness in many educational authorities to accept the influence and assistance of the Church in its teaching capacity, and we urge that every effort should be made throughout the Church to seek such opportunities and to use them with sympathy and discretion.

As the intellectual meaning and content of the Christian doctrine of God cannot be fully apprehended without the aid of the highest human knowledge, it is essential that Christian theology should be studied and taught in universities in contact with philosophy, science and criticism, and to that end that faculties of theology should be established in universities wherever possible.
